Break the rigid seals of the dogmas
Open wide the doors, and free your mind
Claim your will to think, to reject, to refuse
And enshrine it with a roaring blasphemy
How can we bleed, suffer and tolerate
And let them say to us with scorn
From their massive throne of gold and incense
«This is the will of the creator»
La lèpre des hommes n'en finit plus de se répandre
D'interdits en lois putrides, règne la désharmonie
La gangrène étend par force ses règles immondes
Et trouve dans le creuset de nos âmes les brûlures de la haine
To finally reach paradise I have to cross the burning flames of hell
Take my hand, come with me, follow my path then repeat after me
The blood you shed and the tears you cried under my command - I swear to God
The blessed doors of the eternal peace will bend for you
I am the saviour!
Through ashes and flames!
To purify your soul!
I am your saviour!
La lèpre des hommes n'en finit plus de se répandre
D'interdits en lois putrides, règne la désharmonie
La gangrène étend par force ses règles immondes
Et trouve dans le creuset de nos âmes les brûlures de la haine
Holy Lord, Father God
I have sinned and blasphemed
Idolized and worshipped
Hey! - Nothing is sacred or blessed
Je suis las de ces pieux enferrés
Portant leurs lourdes chaînes comme un trophée
Je suis las de ces étendards de sang
Dressés haut, affirmant leurs vertus
Je suis las de ces vaines fiertés (insanité et vanité)
Accrochées aux mensonges de leurs ancêtres
Je suis las d'entendre leurs chants et leurs voix
Rendant inaudible le murmure de la beauté
Car ils sont ceux qui sous couvert de sainteté couvrent la lumière d'un épais voile obscure et triste
La lèpre des hommes n'en finit plus de se répandre
D'interdits en lois putrides, règne la désharmonie
La gangrène étend par force ses règles immondes
Et trouve dans le creuset de nos âmes les brûlures de la haine

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
